Broadhurst Theatre | "BOOP! The Betty Boop Musical" Seating Guide & Best Tickets

Expert Tips for Choosing the Best Seats at Broadhurst Theatre

The intimate 1,200-seat Broadhurst Theatre offers excellent views from most sections, but strategic seat selection can dramatically enhance your experience. Below is our curated guide to finding the perfect balance of value, view quality, and availability for this Broadway hit.

🎯 Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• MEZZO Rows K-L ($74-$88): Center-mezzanine seats with only slight overhang. Row K avoids the safety rail visibility issue present in some Row L seats.
• MEZZC Row L ($76): Slightly more centered than MEZZO at nearly identical price. Perfect for budget-conscious theatergoers.
• Mezzanine Side Rows K-L ($82-$88): Minimal side obstructions with 10°-15° viewing angles - surprisingly good for the price.

⭐ Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View: $100-$175)

• MEZZO Rows G-J ($106-$152): The "goldilocks zone" - close enough for facial expressions but elevated for full-stage perspective. Row H is particularly prized.
• ORCHO Rows Q-T ($147-$175): Rear orchestra with perfect head-on views. Only 25-30ft farther than premium seats at half the price.
• MEZZC Rows D-G ($147-$182): True center sections with ideal vertical sightlines. The $147 Row G tickets are a hidden gem.

💎 Higher Tier Options (Premium Views: $175-$300)

• ORCHO Rows E-N ($187-$265): Mid-orchestra delivers the classic Broadway experience. Rows L-N avoid under-balcony shadows.
• MEZZO/MEZZC Rows A-D ($220-$290): Front mezzanine provides both intimacy and panorama. Row C often has the best elevation.
• ORCHC Rows M-P ($259-$337): Center orchestra's "platinum zone" - within 15 rows of the stage with perfect alignment.

⚠️ View Considerations by Section

• Mezzanine Overhang: Rows K+ may have slight ceiling intrusion - less noticeable in center sections.
• Side Mezzanine: Beyond Row H in side sections, some stage-left action may be obscured.
• Orchestra Depth: Rows R-T see slightly compressed perspective but gain full-stage visibility.
• Front Orchestra: Rows A-E may require some neck craning for full-height scenes.

🎭 Special Recommendations for "BOOP!"

• Prioritize center-left seating (House Right) for Betty's frequent stage-left entrances.
• Mezzanine Row D offers ideal elevation for appreciating the Art Deco-inspired set design.
• Orchestra Rows G-K provide the best balance for catching both tap choreography and facial expressions.

⏳ Last-Minute & Premium Options ($300+)

• ORCHC Rows E-K ($343-$431): The ultimate Broadway experience - close enough to see costume details with perfect sightlines.
• Mezzanine Center Row A ($340): For those who prefer the "director's view" from above.
• Center Orchestra Rows D-G ($352-$431): When money is no object - these disappear first during peak performances.

Pro Tip:

The Broadhurst's shallow balcony means even "rear" mezzanine seats are only about 65ft from the stage. Don't overpay for minor proximity gains when mid-mezzanine often provides better overall perspectives for musicals.
